Why positive thinking might be leading us in the wrong direction.

Deep positivity.If there could be a slogan for manifestation theory, this would be it:Energy follows thought. Energy follows thought. Energy follows thought. And by the way…energy follows thought.

Manifestation happens from the mind.

For it to work effectively, you must achieve clarity of desire, root into the depths of positivity, fend off doubts with Faith, and repeat. Every minute of every day, give or take. If you let your mind wander unattended into heavier thought-forms, like fear, or lack, or mistrust, then you’ll likely hatch all sorts of chaos and attendant anxiety about that chaos. Notice I said “let your mind wanderunattended.” Because, inevitably, all kinds of negativity will cross your mind. If you’re paying attention to that inner dialogue, you can redirect the conversation. If you train your mind to focus on “brighter” thought-forms (like courage, trust, kindness, abundance, one’s right to joy), then you’ll manifest more of those feelings, thoughts, and experiences.

Since energy follows thought, obviously, we want to keep our thinking—especially with respect to our creating our future—as “positive” as possible. But this is nowhere close to easy to do. It’s intense work. Doubts will surface, mental garbage from our past will churn up, our daily life will still include bills to pay, relationships to nurture. Returning to positivity, consistently, can be the hardest thingever. And the best. And the hardest. Is staying consistently positive even possible? Yes. But it might not be what you think.

“POSITIVE THINK”Let’s break down “positive-think,” because this is precisely where most manifestation techniques mess with our heads. Positive-think might suggest that it can make the bad things vanish. But “bad things” in life usually require some confrontation and management from our side. What’s really problematic with positive-think is that we’re being trained to use itsolelyto try to get what we want. This is shallow positivity. Stay with me. We need to be positive for multiple reasons: because it alleviates suffering, because it’s good for our health, because it’s a form of kindness.

If we’re “thinking positive thoughts” just to manifest what’s on our vision board, then what happens when we don’t get what we want? We crash into negative thinking. Positive thinking has to be rooted in the heart, not in the attainment of stuff. We need to go much deeper.

DEEPPOSITIVITY

Deep positivity means that you have Faith that you’ll be okay, no matter what happens.

Notifit all works out for you in the end.
Notifyou get what you want when you think you should get it. No matter what.

Deep positivity knows that Life will have your back even when you don’t manifest what you want.

Let your energy follow thatthought.

It only gets more painful. But it’s good news. I thought that the ability to feel more deeply would give me access to solace, that special area reserved for The Feelers. But as it turns out, I just get more adept at crying and then carrying on.

Antidepressants, meditation, the Goddess, and antibiotics. Making up your healing path. There’s a time and place for everything. Knowing the right time and the right place is how you become your own healer.

True wisdom usually holds and transcends opposing points of view. Wisdom knows that there is always an exception to the rule, that there is a time and place, and that a case-by-case approach is divine protocol.

THE LIE OF AFFILIATION. The Lie of Affiliation says, “Groupthink is good think.” We could also call this The Lie of Being Cool. Join me for lunch on Facebook Live tomorrow [12pm PST/ 3pm EST] and we’ll bite into the dynamics of group-think (it can really suck) and I’ll do Q&A!

So White Hot Truth is about questioning our quest. Not so that we can get all debaucherous (tho’ that might be exactly what your spiritual evolution requires at the moment. In which case, go for it.) so we can craft a spirituality for ourselves that feels inspired and liberating — instead of a checklist for getting holistic and moral approval ratings.

Like most humans, on the deepest level, I crave to be known. This conversation is a knowing — one of the truest recorded conversations that I’ve had. Being with my friend Jono Fisher, The Wakeup Project founder, is just…so…deeply comforting.

The “divine” in Divine Feminine is about wholeness. It’s where The Great Father and The Great Mother are unified. And that divinity then expresses itself through a feminine energy vehicle, upholding and emphasizing the key qualities and interests of the feminine.
